Using The System And Application Recovery Cds - Sony PCG-Z505LE Primary User Manual

Using the System and
Application Recovery CDs
The following sections describe how to use the System Recovery and Application
Recovery utilities. You need to connect the optional PCGA-CD51/A CD-ROM
drive or the PCGA-DVD51/A DVD drive to use the System and Application
Recovery CDs. (Windows Me does not support PCGA-CDRW51).
Using the System Recovery CD(s)
You can reinstall software titles that shipped with your computer if they are
corrupted or accidentally erased. You may not need to recover the entire contents
of your hard drive. If you experience a problem with your computer, reinstalling
an individual device driver or software title may correct the problem. Use the
Application Recovery CDs to reinstall individual applications or device drivers.
See "Using the Application Recovery CD(s)" on page 94.

If you use PCGA-DVD51/A DVD-ROM drive, do not connect the AC
adapter supplied with the drive.
The System Recovery CD contains a backup copy of all the software originally
installed on your hard disk drive. It can be used only to recover the hard disk
of the notebook computer you purchased.
